Job description

Required Qualifications

Salesforce Ecosystem (Non-Negotiable)

• Hands-on experience with Salesforce DX (SFDX / SF CLI), including sfdx-project.json configuration, package directory management, and SF CLI command fluency.
• Proven experience with Salesforce package-based deployments unlocked packages and/or org dependent packages including versioning, dependency management, and installation sequencing.
• Understanding of module-level code classification in Salesforce DX - how metadata is organized, classified, and deployed per package or module boundary.
• Familiarity with Salesforce release lifecycle including seasonal upgrades (Spring, Summer, Winter) and environment-level validation windows.
• Exposure to Apex, Lightning Web Components (LWC), and Flow metadata - you do not need to build them, but you must understand how they package and deploy.

DevOps & CI/CD

• 6+ years of hands-on experience with GitHub Actions - workflow authoring, reusable actions, composite actions, YAML / Shell scripting and secrets management.
• Demonstrated ability to design and implement multi-stage quality gates across a CI/CD promotion pipeline - not just checks at merge, but environment-specific gates that elevate in strictness from TEST through to PROD.
• Proven experience embedding static analysis, code coverage enforcement, metadata validation, and security scanning as hard pipeline gates - not advisory warnings.
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot GitHub Actions failures in depth - workflow logic errors, Salesforce deployment issues, token/secret resolution failures, and environment access conflicts.
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code and environment configuration management (Terraform, Ansible, or equivalent).
• Familiarity with containerization (Docker) for self-hosted runner environments.

GitHub Platform Administration (Non-Negotiable)

• Strong hands-on experience managing GitHub organizations - repositories, teams, member roles, outside collaborators, and org-level permission policies.
• Deep expertise configuring branch protection rules, required status checks, CODEOWNERS, and merge queue settings.
• Proficiency managing GitHub tokens (PATs, fine-grained tokens, GitHub Apps), environment secrets, and service account credentials using a least-privilege model.
• Proven experience diagnosing and resolving GitHub Actions environment issues - including runner config issues, rate limit errors, cross-repository access failures, and runner misconfiguration.
• Familiarity with GitHub audit logs, security alerts, and access review processes for compliance-driven projects.

Scripting & Tooling

• Strong scripting skills in YAML/Bash/Shell and/or Python for pipeline automation, package deployment orchestration, and GitHub API interactions.
• Comfort working with JSON/XML/YAML - including Salesforce metadata files, sfdx-project.json, and GitHub Actions workflow syntax.
• Experience with SFDX-Git-Delta for diff-based deployments is a plus; must understand when delta vs. full package deployments are appropriate.
• Must understand when to apply Source deployments, Diff deployments and package deployments in the Salesforce eco system.

AI Fluency & Code Assist (Non-Negotiable Mindset)

• Demonstrable use of AI code assist tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or equivalent) in day-to-day engineering work - not occasional experimentation, but habitual use.
• Working familiarity with large language models (GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, or similar) for engineering tasks: debugging pipelines, writing documentation, generating scripts, and exploring solutions.
• Awareness of agentic AI concepts and workflow automation - understanding how LLM-driven agents can be applied to DevOps tasks and ability to prototype simple agentic flows.
• Curious, self-directed learner who tracks GenAI tooling developments and applies relevant advances to their work without waiting to be asked.

Preferred Qualifications

• Salesforce Certified Administrator or Platform Developer I certification.
• Experience with GitHub Actions for Salesforce DevOps tooling, particularly in package-based deployment contexts.
• Familiarity with Salesforce Administration, audit trail, and compliance-driven deployment practices.
• Experience supporting large-scale Salesforce implementations with multiple DX packages and complex inter-package dependency chains.
• Hands-on experience with GitHub Administration - code scanning, secret scanning, or access management for teams.
• Experience building or deploying agentic AI workflows using frameworks such as LangChain, AutoGen, CrewAI, or similar.
• Familiarity with Salesforce Agentforce or AI integrations within the Salesforce platform.
